Does not take place in Daventry.
Does not take place in Outer Space.
The game is VGA.
It is part of a series.
Does not contain any live action games in the series.
It is an Adventure Game.
Takes place in a historical time period.
But it's not Gold Rush.

12. Is the game Police Quest?
(While not historical, that I can think of - it does have a VGA game, there's is no live action, it stars a male character, and is an adventure game).
